Abstract

To report a case of nodular scleritis and panuveitis associated with erythema elevatum diutinum, a rare immunocomplex-mediated skin disease. Observational case report. A 22-year-old woman who was diagnosed with erythema elevatum diutinum developed nodular scleritis and panuveitis of the right eye. She had experienced peripheral ulcerative keratitis with corneal perforation. All other known causes of nodular scleritis and panuveitis were investigated and ruled out. Erythema elevatum diutinum should be considered as an underlying systemic disease associated with nodular scleritis and panuveitis as well as peripheral keratitis.
